Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Last House Guest - a Reese Witherspoon Book Club selection - comes a riveting, “suspenseful” (BookPage, starred review) novel about a mysterious murder in an idyllic and close-knit neighborhood.

Welcome to Hollow’s Edge, where you can find secrets, scandal, and a suspected killer - all on one street.

Hollow’s Edge use to be a quiet place. A private and idyllic neighborhood where neighbors dropped in on neighbors, celebrated graduation and holiday parties together, and looked out for one another. But then came the murder of Brandon and Fiona Truett. A year and a half later, Hollow’s Edge is simmering. The residents are trapped, unable to sell their homes, confronted daily by the empty Truett house, and suffocated by their trial testimonies that implicated one of their own. Ruby Fletcher. And now, Ruby’s back.

With her conviction overturned, Ruby waltzes right back to Hollow’s Edge, and into the home she shared with Harper Nash. Harper, five years older, has always treated Ruby like a wayward younger sister. But now she’s terrified. What possible good could come of Ruby returning to the scene of the crime? And how can she possibly turn her away, when she knows Ruby has nowhere to go?

Within days, suspicion spreads like a virus across Hollow’s Edge. It’s increasingly clear that not everyone told the truth about the night of the Truetts’ murders. And when Harper begins receiving threatening notes, she realizes she has to uncover the truth before someone else becomes the killer’s next victim.

Pulsating with suspense and with Megan Miranda’s trademark shocking twists, Such a Quiet Place is Megan Miranda’s best novel yet - a “powerful, paranoid thriller” (Booklist, starred review) that will keep you turning the pages late into the night.

Narrators speech patterns are cringe

Good story, good writing, but narrator reads in the wrong way. Every sentence starts on a high tone and lowers with each word. Not like an actor telling you a story, it’s hard to really get in to the story because I’m distracted by HOW it’s being told

So boring

3 hours in and I’m so bored. Have yet to get into the dilemma or conflict that needs to be solved. So boring.

Short story gone long

The storyline itself was a creative plot. The process to get from start to finish was long and drawn out. So many unnecessary thoughts, words, and sentences. It’s like they had a short story and had to produce a novel. None of the characters are particularly likable.

Very Disappointed

Love the Narrator but story was long and boring. Certainly not the Author's best!
